Chapter 1062 requires participation in the accident investigation!
Chang Haonan's operation itself is actually unintentional.
But the effect is outstanding.
Zhang Zhenhua's feedback about “no stock” was quickly sent back to the UK through Ciro Company.
The moment he heard the report, Panos Watson's blood pressure immediately spiked.
If he hadn't quickly held onto the table next to him, I might have performed a show with his hands spread out on the spot and lost his breath.
After a while, Watson regained his vision before slowly sitting back on the chair next to him:
“Out of stock?”
Tim Purdy, who was standing opposite, could not help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his supervisor could still speak normally:
“That's right.”
He nodded and continued:
"Huaxia said that their process has minimum production quantity requirements for each batch, so the previous orders were actually based on the batch of products that went offline in January this year, and they were all used up after the last shipment. "
"As for the new batch of products... the production cycle is arranged according to our past ordering rhythm. Since this time the order is in advance, there is no preparation at all... However, the other party also assured us that the delivery will be completed within the period stipulated in the contract. Absolutely There will be no breach of contract…”
Watson was so angry that he couldn't say anything. He trembled for a long time before he punched the table angrily:
“The period specified in the contract?”
“The delivery period stipulated in the contract is two months!”
“If we wait until two months later, the Trent 900 will be completely destroyed!”
However, anger is anger.
Besides venting, there really seems to be nothing that can be done.
The Chinese people's explanation is reasonable from both a technical and commercial perspective, and it's not even a situation where “you know the other party is doing something wrong but you are helpless due to procedural issues.”
But there is not even a point of refutation to be found.
But now there is really no way to wait another two months—
It will certainly take a long time to find out the root cause of the accident, but at least it must be 100% sure that it has nothing to do with the most critical core part of the aircraft before negotiations with Airbus can continue.
Otherwise, even if the French were brave, Watson himself would not dare to install the Trent 900 casually.
With no other choice, he had no choice but to try a trick:
“If we add extra money, can China meet the construction deadline and deliver it ahead of schedule?”
As a result, Bodi directly gave a negative answer:
"We asked, and the other party said that the production line is currently operating at full capacity, producing other products that were ordered earlier. Unless there is a sufficient and reasonable reason, they will not accept additional money or modify the production arrangement, which will affect them. business reputation.”
Seeing that the other party had shown their spirit of contract and business reputation, Watson could not say anything else.
You can't just say that as long as you pay sufficient liquidated damages, the spirit of the contract is nonsense, right?
For a while, there was a bit of silence in the office.
After a while, Bodie, who was sure that Watson was completely lost, tentatively spoke:
“I think the best way now is to inform the Chinese side of the accident involving the Trent 900…”
Unsurprisingly, Watson interrupted him halfway through his words:
“No, absolutely not!”
“If this kind of news spreads, it will have a devastating impact on the confidence of partners and the company's stock price!”
“But if it continues like this, the whole world will know about it, right?”
Pody became calmer at this time and analyzed to Watson:
“Actually, the Chinese people are now responsible for the production of the core components of the Trent 900, and the profits are quite generous. On the contrary, among the various forces, the interests are the most consistent with ours.”
"If the Trent 900 continues to be delayed...or even canceled because the accident investigation results are not available, the Chinese people will not only lose orders, but also due to rumors from the outside world, someone will definitely attribute the cause of the accident to the turbine blades they produced. It has a greater impact on their reputation.”
“So, there is no reason why they would take the initiative to leak this news, and they would even be more concerned about keeping it secret than we are…”
The latter's eyes gradually changed from determination to hesitation, and he had obviously begun to think about the feasibility of this proposal.
In fact, from a rational perspective, Watson also knows that he really has no second option.
It's just that he sternly rejected the Chinese people's reminder before. Now if he reports the accident situation to the other party, it will inevitably be regarded as amusement.
But then again, it is better to be treated as amusement by partners than to be treated as amusement by competitors in the future.
Bodi, who is proficient in observing words and expressions, also continued at this time:
“By the way, supervisor, last time you asked me to reply to the letter from Huaxia, I actually forgot to send it out…”
Actually, Bodie felt that the letter was too violent, so he took it upon himself to stop it.
However, in front of the leader, you must not directly admit that you deliberately failed to implement it.
So it must be forgotten. And his words undoubtedly became the last stone that broke the camel's back...the last big stone.
Watson's complexion suddenly turned from gloomy to clear.
Of course, for the sake of reserve, I still pretended to hesitate for a while before finally nodding:
“Forget it…just do as you say.”
"Go to Huaxia in person and briefly inform the other party of the situation. You must emphasize that the new turbine blades are the core of our accident recovery and clarifying the truth. They must be delivered as quickly as possible, otherwise once the incident escalates, for It will be a huge loss for both of us..."
The future of the Trent 900 is related to his own future and destiny, so Bodi naturally moves very quickly.
Furthermore, he had already held a position at Xiro Company before, so the Chinese visa had a very long term and he did not need to reapply.
So the next day, he arrived in Haojing and explained the accident of Trent 900 to Zhang Zhenhua.
Just a little bit of beautification.
For example, they have previously approved the proposal put forward by China, and this time they want to test the possible consequences of turbine overspeed.
The consequences turned out to be more serious than imagined, which led to the accident.
These contents were quickly fed back to the capital in their entirety.
You must know that the Trent 900 turbine blades are a supply chain product that is of great concern at the group level. Now that an accident has occurred, even if there is no evidence that the cause of the accident is related to Huaxia products, it is a major event that cannot be ignored.
At least Chang Haonan cannot make the decision alone.
So that night, at his suggestion, the Aerospace Power Group held a meeting overnight to discuss strategies to deal with the matter.
Of course, it is said to be a discussion, but everyone can guess that Chang Haonan probably already has a draft, but it just needs to be decided at the group level.
Therefore, after a brief opening remarks, Zhu Linyu directly pointed to Chang Haonan:
"Comrade Haonan, I specifically asked Haofa Group, and they said that there are actually enough remaining samples in the warehouse, so... it should be that you specifically asked them to delay the delivery time?"
"Yes."
Chang Haonan's answer was concise and concise:
“I think this is an excellent opportunity. If done properly, we will have the opportunity to participate more deeply in international aviation industry cooperation!”
Originally, this late-night meeting even seemed a bit boring.
Especially for several non-technical leaders, they are here just to make up for the vote, which can even make them a little sleepy.
But as soon as his words came to light, everyone suddenly woke up.
In-depth participation in the international aviation industry.
It can be said that the most important node on Chang Haonan's career was the series of aviation industry cooperation agreements signed with the European Union in 1997.
So, no one will think this is an exaggeration.
They all adopted the attitude of "Speak quickly, I'm listening".
“I would like to propose to Rolls-Royce that we participate in the investigation of this Trent 900 accident!”
Chang Haonan said firmly.
“On the one hand, the Turbofan 20 project is about to be established. Although it is impossible for Luoluo to let outsiders have access to the core secrets, an investigation team can gain some experience by going there.”
"On the other hand, and more importantly, the British cannot hide this accident forever. At least they must disclose the true situation after all the dust has settled. By then, the whole world will realize that we, China, are in Trent The huge role played by 900 can also further improve our image in the international aviation industry!”
This operation was completely beyond everyone's expectations, and it also caused a period of confusion.
As a core supplier, the requirement to participate in the accident investigation is quite reasonable.
The results described by Chang Haonan are indeed great.
If Trent 900 now publicly advertises that its core components are manufactured by China, then many interested users will probably choose the other company.
If you wait until the Trent 900 is recognized by users and then tell them that it uses core components produced by Huaxia, the effect will be completely different.
But the problem is…
“But Comrade Haonan, what you just said is based on the premise that the cause of the accident will be found out in a very short time, right?”
Lin Zuoming said doubtfully:
“If this matter drags on and there is no result until it is disclosed by the media, won't our image as a core supplier of turbine parts become even worse?”
“This is true.”
Unexpectedly, Chang Haonan nodded without thinking:
“It is impossible to quickly improve our country's industrial status without taking risks...and even if we do not participate in it, the consequences that Mr. Lin said will not be alleviated much.”
"also…"
He took a deep breath and sat up slightly:
“I have seen some of the design plans for the Trent 900, and I am at least 80% sure that the root cause of the accident can be found!”
